As of late July, 2018, tape is rolling again in the Voyag3r camp! The synth/progressive/rock band is hunkered down at the Tempermill Studios in Ferndale, MI. Neve and API pre-amps thought the Harrison 32 console, on to 2″ analog tape!

This will mark Voyag3r’s 3rd full length album and like the records before, shows new directions and sonic landscapes as well as classic synth and rock elements the band is known for.

As more information comes into the light, we’ll post it here. In the meantime, here are some photos from the sessions.

Pre-orders are open for the two-disc vinyl edition of The Official Companion Album for The Rise of the Synths, the globetrotting synthwave documentary. Vehlinggo is pleased to reveal the album artwork and give you all the information you need to know about this Lakeshore Records release featuring the likes of Giorgio Moroder & Raney Shockne, Com Truise, Voyag3r, and Dance with the Dead. (The street date is Dec. 8, but pre-order ASAP because these things will go fast. After all, who can resist The Rise of the Synths on vinyl?)

What makes this companion release possible is the documentary behind it all, which was primarily funded by an expansive crowdfunding effort. Director Ivan Castell and producer Javip Moreno are traveling the world interviewing both pioneering synth musicians and the artists inspired by them — Drive artists Electric Youthand College; Miami Nights 1984; Com Truise; Dance with the Dead; Maethelvin; The Midnight; Betamaxx; Futurecop!, Kristine, OGRE, Carpenter Brut, Lazerhawk, Perturbator, Mitch Murder, and so many more.

Castell and Moreno are also interviewing music journalists, tour organizers, and others involved in the scene. For more information, read up on the documentary and its scope. It’s an inspiring endeavor.

Brand new Voyag3r song Appearance Of The Mysterious Traveler, recorded exclusively for The Rise of the Synths companion album is being release on on May 1 via Lakeshore Records Bandcamp. Produced, engineered and mixed by Steve Greene at the Battle Chamber and mastered by Carl Saff.

Lakeshore Records will release two official companion EPs for the upcoming documentary The Rise of The Synths this spring. THE RISE OF THE SYNTHS EP 1 features tracks from Giorgio Moroder & Raney Shockne, Dance With The Dead, OGRE, Lazerhawk, Mega Drive, Voyag3r, and Carpenter Brut’s “Night Stalker”, which was released earlier this year. The EP will be released exclusively through Lakeshore Records’ Bandcamp on May 1 and through all digital providers on May 12.

The Rise of The Synths is a documentary film project exploring the synthwave music scene. The filmmakers are interviewing both new artists and classic composers who helped to create the genre. The film is currently in production after a successful Indiegogo campaign. THE RISE OF THE SYNTHS EP 2 will be released in June. Stay tuned for more album details! See the EP 1 track list below.

ABOUT THE RISE OF THE SYNTHS
The film is a travel in time towards the roots of a worldwide grass-root music scene known as Synthwave, an irresistible blend of modern electronic composition with 80s pop culture’s nostalgia, that over the last two years has transformed from a whisper on selected internet hubs, to an ever-growing scene, expanding rapidly as we speak. Accounting millions of plays on social media, devoted fans are legion, but nobody in the mass media knows about them.

Thousands of synthwave composers around the world are living out double-lives. Away from their normal everyday life they spend another half-life behind a faceless musical avatar, creating and uploading their own renditions of 80’s-styled film scores, sharing them with the world – surging the wave. They belong to an endless army of watchers for the master’s legacy: the sound that Edgar Froese, Paul Haslinger, Giorgio Moroder and John Carpenter created in the late 70s.

A time travel into the universe of creating sounds. A love letter to human fascination and the collective memories of a universe that never existed.

Lakeshore Records is releasing a special companion album in support of the crowd-funded film The Rise Of The Synths. The album will feature many of your favorite synthwave artists.

Over the next few weeks, we will be announcing the bands appearing on the album. First up: Detroit-based synth-heavy, prog-rock trio VOYAG3R.

THE RISE OF THE SYNTHS is a feature documentary directed by Iván Castell and produced by Javier Moreno with an amazing team from Spain. The film is the definitive documentary about synthwave and ’80s retro and electronic music. The filmmakers’ crowd-funding campaign is running right now.
